We woke up early this morning to catch the express bus down to Miao Li. When we finally reached Miao Li after a 2 hours ride, I realised we were kind of lost in the mountains! Fortunately, there was this Ah Peh, who was very hospitable and kind enough to offer his help. He called the owner of Dahu Hakka Village Resort (the place where we will be putting up for the night) to come pick us up at the bus stop. While waiting, we took our lunch at McDonald's. Eugene bought the McSpicy Chicken Burger but I got something special for myself. Teriyaki Chicken Burger! Singapore don't have.
The owner of the Village Resort had a cherubic face with rosy cheeks. Comparable to my face after I apply blusher. You have no idea how envious I was. Anyway, he offered to drive us to Sheng Xing Train Station (a tourist attraction) before we head back to the village. So nice right? Eugene and I took about 20 minutes to explore the place, take photos and buy souvenirs while he read newspaper in his car.
The ride up the mountain to the village took about 20 minutes. According to cherubic faced owner, it would take us approximately 2 hours to walk, crawl, climb up to the mountain top by feet. That was what he did in the past when he was a child.
I simply loved our theme room. Just as I had expected it to be. Comfy, romantic and we had a view of the vast greenery from the balcony.
Miao Li offers a totally different experience with its breathtaking scenery, fresh air and serene environment. We spent the afternoon lazily, drinking Ke Jia Lei Cha (traditional Hakka tea), picking strawberries and basking in the serenity.
Dinner was sumptious and slightly pricey. I suppose it is because they use really fresh ingredients. They grow their own fruits and vegetables. Turns out the cherubic faced owner was the one who whipped all all those delicious dishes! We had meat with preserved vegetables, stir fried vegetables, prawn balls and strawberry salad and a pickled vegetable soup. Yum! We also realized that he is actually head of the village cause halfway through our meal, villagers gathered at a huge table beside us for their dinner. We paid only SGD125 per night for our room, inclusive of breakfast and ultra good hospitality! Find out more at http://www.130.com.tw/
